Mor? than 50 French villages have been ivrested jrom the foe's grasp-yesterday alone. At some points the advance reached to a depth of seven miles.

Allies Machine, working together
Swept Aside résistance of Enemy
BY GENERAL MARABAIL
i-aris, Aug. ;j.
In tlie center and on the right, Dpgouttes and Berthelot were pushing on at the s-ame pace as Mangin. Degouttes carried the For-est of Nesles, penetrated rlle Fore si of Dole arnFoccupied Coulonges. Berthelot entered GonssaUCOillrt, Yiller-Agron a.nd Villeen-Tal'denoiG and T'eacned the, line of Vezilly, Lagery and Lhery fiye ]<.i]u<meters beyond tlie l'oad from Dormans to Reims. In the v.aUe,v of tl1B Vesle, Ive stomnecl Thillois and Gueux ' As 1 write, o-ur troops, coiitinuing. to aclvance, have surely passerl tl1esB positions, On thé' wilole line the Germans are in retreiat, devastating and' hurninn' everythiing in their path, as did the llarHDrians in ancient times, But the hour of reckoning draws;
.near. They wil expiate their crimes.
The Allies succes.ses ycsterd.ay \vere so rapid a.nd so complété that they. 'exceeded ail hopes. It was fel.t that tlie Allie.'>: hac! succeeded in dôminiifi.ng tlie enemy and lir taking tne mtfiative, 'but at - t-he saine time- it was ' .kiiw,vii that fiie Germas hà-d. 8'S tablished"tilernselves on a line 'di ,stirohg positions and it was expected thaï they -wouhl offer a prolon.ged resisUi::ce.
• ".Their precipitate l'etreat is" due to tw,ô .,c,,i,uses : first- to the skilfi.il manœuvre of the Mangin, Dégouttes and Berthelot armies, and fut,ÈIILr to trie demoralizing ' pfl'ëct : on the' Germ-àn soidiers of their reverses .and tÜe broken promises of their cliiefs. Ludendorff had no longer sut'Hci.pjnt COlIn: dence- in their staying powers. to kefep tlieni nort!). of thé Ourcq, i
To understand the. J-)r,ill.i;ant ,,,es.iilts ; obtained by tlie Allies yesterday, it is best. fo make a. rapid réviiew of thé happenings sillc(" the July 18the. date of 'the opening of the -.counter-offensive. "
On that-diay; Mangin irrived at the gales of Soissons but jvas prudent. enoug'h not. to .-en 1er nor to (l'y to pitsh on beyond, so .s.trobg was the enemy position on the plateaux n.orl-hyvest 'of the Vesle. To -aa-ack, he would have uselessly. sacnfic.ed his army. FLs task was to rivet the enemy's attention to t1115 front and hold him under. a' -constant menace- c)f- attack. .Then,; behind this ma<sk. thero \v'as ' Lo be a rneUŒU\Te OH t-he south,
This rôle fell to the armies of ' De.gouttes and Mitry. T11e fii,st, coanin^ up t'roMk Chafeaii-Thierry, advanced northea?MÉâ the direction of Fere-enTardenois, ¡ '}Ping contact at 'ils lettc'il tho.OtiPi- wint. Mangin,- and -on its right with Mitry. The latter, who stood on the left h'ank of 1.]18 J\.)'arne. force.d the enemy, to recross thé river. He crossecl it hiniself at. the enerny's l1eeJs and' advanced rtort!)war(! through-the fores te; of Fere and BisMeanwhile, the Berthelot ar.niy was resisting flIC enrmy, wlio was 'attacking tlie Mountain "oî Reims. Slowly, but a little eacli day, he forcect the enemy back.
On "Jury 28, Degouttes' left was- suf..ncientiy advanced 011 HUll, Mangin conld enter the g-ame. He carned Oulchy-le-Chateau and Degouttes en1.ered. "Fere.,, The enemy . résisté d and connter-attacked vigorou«ly, but lie 103t, Vmemontoire and Grand Bozoy, Avhile holding desperately to liartennes. TjjjÊÊùS a position, that can, not be dii*L® attacked. It had to be ta.ken onl ank.
On August 1 Mangin carri-ecl tho long ridge that, dominâtes Grand Ro/:u,,- and Cramaille on tl18 north, and tb-j T)Iate'a'!f of the Crise, on the south.
